Chapter 339 Chapter 359: The Journey to Find Gu Worms (4)

Su Liqing was not greedy for money, as the head of the clan, he called a meeting with the heads of households in the village early the next morning, and explained the matter of finding Gu worms.

He also took out the check and said that if ten of them can be successfully found, then the money will be distributed equally to each family.

Where have you guys seen so much money? For those who are not rich, if they have this money, their lives will naturally improve a lot, so they all expressed their willingness to listen to Elder Su's orders.

Due to the large number of mountains, Su Liqing immediately assigned tasks to each of them. Everyone divided the work and cooperated, and several people were responsible for a mountain.

After explaining everything, everyone went home excitedly to get tools and prepare to go up the mountain. Everyone was eager to try and seemed full of energy.

When Xia Tong got up at seven o'clock, he heard that the men in the village and Su Liqing had gone up the mountain to look for Gu worms.

Xia Tong was amazed at their speed and became more confident about this trip to Miaojiang.

However, the facts are always cruel. Most of the men in the village went to the mountains for a day, but they couldn't find a Gu worm, not even a trace of their shed shells.

Elder Su did not give up, and held a meeting to mobilize everyone in the evening, planning to continue searching tomorrow.

Xia Tong attended the meeting and said that we would go to see it tomorrow. Xiaoying persuaded her to stay in the village. Su Liqing also meant the same thing, saying that the road in the mountains was steep and difficult to walk, there were many mosquitoes, and there might be wild animals.

If she goes, it is estimated that someone will be sent as a guide.

Xia Tong felt that it made sense, so he canceled his decision to go to the mountains and stayed in the village with peace of mind.

The next day, everyone went up the mountain again early in the morning. This time, there were more men, and everyone worked hard to find the Gu worms as soon as possible...

In this way, Xia Tong and Xiaoying stayed in the village for three or four days. These days, Su Liqing took his tribe up the mountain every day.

The hard work paid off, until the fifth day, someone finally found a Gu worm in the mountain, and it was not small, although only one was found, but since it was found, it means that the Gu worm has not disappeared in this mountainous area.

Everyone was more confident, and started searching all over the mountain without stopping.

Xia Tong put the Gu insects into the glass jar. It was the first time Xiaoying saw this creature. It was small in size, similar in shape to a beetle, and also belonged to hard-shelled insects.

However, the shells of beetles are generally black or brown, but Gu insects are different.

It has genes similar to chameleons in its body, which can change colors according to the surrounding environment, so it is difficult to find traces hidden in the mountains and forests.

The one I caught was relatively large, with a size of six centimeters. As soon as Xia Tong put it in the glass jar, the color of its body immediately turned transparent. If you didn't look carefully, you could see the tentacles on its head. Almost blends into the glass.

Xia Tong was overjoyed. Originally, she didn't have much hope during this trip to Miaojiang, but she didn't expect to be so lucky, at least she found one!
And the good news came again and again, on this day, Elder Su and the clansmen brought back four or five of them, they were all small, but it was better than nothing.

When she was excited, Xia Tong introduced Gu worms to Xiaoying. She told him that there are records in ancient medical books that ancient people have used Gu worms as medicine, but this medicinal material is very rare. Except for nobles and royal relatives, ordinary people basically use it Sorry.

The body fluid of Gu worms is the most precious, and the medicinal effect is the most obvious. The dried shells are used as medicine, and the effect is second. It is mentioned in the Compendium of Materia Medica that Miaojiang Gu worms have the effect of reducing stasis and swelling.
